If Richard Gazowsky had been elected they'd be thumping their chests. If Leonard Westberg were raised from the dead and elected they'd be in Nirvana - thumping their chests.

LOL on 6. As far as #4 only half being "wry", the truth is the majority of those signing have historically fought long and hard against TV, and "Hollywood" for example, being literal Heaven and Hell issues. Now with one dismissive gesture 40 years of "holiness" battles cavalierly cast aside so that pants and women trimming hair are the only Apostolic distinctives left.

The late dear Brother LW must be spinning in his grave - trying to get a good position from which to thump his chest.
(There, Murph - does that help?)

3.As part of the "proclamations" be sure that culottes and dealing with split ends gets equal billing with the new birth.
4.Perhaps most important of all, in one fell swoop just announce that heaven or hell issues such as TV, movies, wedding bands etc. are no longer heaven or hell issues( like have been preached for generations) and should be left up to the local pastor to teach as he sees fit.
5.Maneuver behind the scenes so the pastor of the man most vocal about dialoguing with those whom you insist must be expelled from the organization gets elected General Superintendent.
6.Going around thumping chests as though a great victory had been accomplished when in fact through these actions the cause of traditional standards have been set back farther than the targets in number 1 ever could have accomplished.
Thank God no one is actually foolish enough to do this right?
